COUNTERTOP OVEN SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions prior to rst use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or any parts of the
oven in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other
hot liquids.
11. Use extreme caution when removing broiler pan tray or disposing of hot grease.
12. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a Countertop Oven as they
may create a re or risk of electric shock.
13. A re may occur if Countertop Oven is covered or touching ammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation. Do not store any
item on top of the appliance when in operation.
14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
15. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials
other than metal or glass.
16. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories,
in this oven when not in use.
17. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or
anything similar.
18. Do not cover crumb drawer or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the oven. Foil is permitted in the multipurpose pan to catch grease.
19. To disconnect, turn oven off by pressing Start/Cancel button, then remove plug from
wall outlet.
20. Do not use outdoors.
21. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
22. This product is designed for household use only.

COUNTERTOP OVEN SAFETY PARTS AND FEATURES
Electrical requirements
Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz
Wattage: 1800 Watts
NOTE: This countertop oven has a
3 prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or technician install an outlet
near the appliance.
A short power supply cord (or detachable
power supply cord) should be used to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be
used if attention is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power supply cord
or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord.

COOKING MODES GUIDEPARTS AND FEATURES
Your Countertop Oven features 9
cooking modes specially designed
for a variety of cooking tasks. Each
uses the KitchenAid®Even-Heat™
system to control a combination of
elements, applying heat where it’s
needed for optimal results. Memory
settings allow you to customize the
time and temperature in each mode to
fit your specific needs. The Countertop
Oven will remember all your settings for
the next use (until unplugged). The
additional Convection and Frozen
functions (available on certain cooking
modes) allow you to take countertop
cooking to a whole new level.
Refer to the quick guide below for Cooking Mode options, or see detailed explanations and
tips for each cooking mode on the following pages.

COOKING MODES
Bake
Asado Roast
The Asado Roast mode uses staged cooking
to allow larger items like whole chickens
or pork roasts to develop a crispy crust
while slowly cooking the interior. The
Even-Heat™ system distributes power to
the top and bottom heating elements to
maintain the desired oven temperature. The
convection fan will operate in the rst stage
to assist with crisping the roast exterior, and
will then turn off to prevent over-drying.
Temperature & time information
In Asado Roast mode, the time and
temperature is set in 2 stages.
Stage 1 (Crisping) During Stage 1, the
outer layer of your roast will crisp as the
interior begins to warm. The convection
fan will default to ON to assist with crisping
the roast exterior, but may be turned off, if
desired. Smaller cuts of meat may require
less crisping than larger roasts; please
consult your recipe.
Stage 2 (Roasting) Temperature is reduced
in Stage 2 to allow heat to slowly and
evenly reach the center of your food until
it arrives at the desired finish temperature.
The convection fan will turn OFF to prevent
overdrying the outside.
NOTE: For temperature and time settings
and options in Asado Roast mode, see the
“Cooking modes” chart.
COOKING MODES
In Bake mode, the Even-Heat™ system
distributes power to the top and bottom
heating elements to maintain the desired
oven temperature. The top center element
will be off.
Bake mode tip
• Food may nish cooking up to 30% faster
when using Convection mode. Check
baked goods such as cakes, mufns, and
pastries before the expected nish time
to avoid over-cooking.
NOTE: For temperature and time settings
and options in Bake mode, see the “Cooking
modes” chart.
What is Even-Heat™ technology?
The KitchenAid®Even-Heat™ system
helps provide consistent cooking results,
without cold spots or overcooking. By
cycling different heating elements on and
off, and using certain elements for only part
of the cooking cycle, Even-Heat™ allows
tender, juicy roasts or pizzas with deliciously
browned cheese—automatically. Bottom elements
